The following note, received by the author in answer to the call for information, tells a sad story:


" CASCADE, May 31st, 1875.


"MR. EVERETT:


"Sir :- I had three sons only at the beginning of the war. Amos M., whose name I see on your published list. Edgar W. was wounded at the battle of Chickamauga; died of his wounds at Chattanooga, Oct. 16th, 1873. He was captain of Co. D., 21st Michigan. Erson H. died in Libby prison, Sept. 12th, 1863, from sheer neglect and want of food. Such was the dread sacrifice in my family in the bloody struggle for right and humanity. " H. B. SMITH."

MEMORIALS OF THE


1 OLD THIRD REGIMENT.


On the first call for soldiers to resist the action of the reb- els, Col. Daniel McConnell, who was in command of a regi- ment of amateur soldiers, was commissioned to raise a regiment, to be known as the " Michigan Third Volunteers."


McConnell had had some military experience in the Mexi- can war, where he served as lieutenant. The camp was at the Fair Grounds, south of the city of Grand Rapids.


The recruiting went on for a time, and the regiment was fast filling up, when the order came on requiring the enlist- ment for three years, or during the war. This necessitated the disbandment of the enlisted men, and a re-enlistment. Most of those who had enlisted for three months, re-enlisted for three years.
